Nets gag away the game to the Warriors!

[carolinajazz]

After a pair of Jack free throws made it 95-94 Nets with 29.9 seconds left, Curry missed a layup and Young grabbed the rebound.

Then things got weird.

With the shot clock off, it appeared the Nets understandably expected the Warriors to foul them. But when Golden State didn’t, the Nets seemed confused, and didn’t try to advance the ball. Eventually Jarrett Jack realized what was happening and started to move it up court, but by then the referees had called an eight-second violation, giving the ball back to Golden State.

Jack made up for that lapse by deflecting a Curry pass on the ensuing possession, and after Young caught the loose ball and was fouled, he made a pair of free throws with 9.9 seconds remaining to make it 97-94 Nets.

Hollins then had a decision: whether or not to foul to keep the Warriors from attempting a game tying 3-pointer. The Nets didn’t, though, despite having two great opportunities to do so. First, Young didn’t grab Draymond Green when he caught his ball with his back to the basket on the initial inbounds pass, and then Joe Johnson didn’t foul Andre Iguodala (a 60 percent foul shooter) when he caught a pass from Green.

Not doing so proved costly, as Iguodala rose up and buried a game-tying 3-pointer with 5.5 seconds left.

An absolutely atrocious play from Jack(or any PG).. Lionell Hollins is the worst, he's so predictable during end-game scenario's (always goes with the hot hand).. Once they extended the lead to 7(again) they took some quick shots a few possessions in a row, and paid for it dearly. I thought they should've tried to post up Lopez, instead they had him 18 feet from the basket setting picks.

Also Lopez could've won the game in regulation, they had .5 seconds on an inbounds, ran a perfect play, Lopez got a point blank shot at the rim and shot it back rim, and it rattled out -- Bogut did appear to have a fistful of his jersey, still it was, SOO make-able for a player the caliber of Lopez.

That had to be one of the worst 8 second calls I've seen, (I think Marbury had a 10 second call back when he was a young T'wolf, at a critical juncture in a playoff game, I always remember that one, It was really dumb) That was the right call too. He was a step or 2 from crossing halfcourt and did a step-back instead of moving forward.. with probably just a second or 2 before the violation --- Total brainfart, a terrible display of awareness/internal clock..

Hollins did appear to be trying to call time-out from the bench, dunno if he/they deserved to get bailed out though. The second Jack took a step backwards, they were screwed.
